  • Reverse engineering the server is reverse engineering the whole game. It’s going to require skilled engineers and a significant time investment. It may be possible, but not practical.

    Also, the client will likely verify it is talking to a legitimate server by checking a certificate, so you may also have to hack the client too.

    At some point you’re better off making your own game with hookers and blackjack.





  • I ran it for a while, and loved it. Cinnamon is sleek and feels polished. The installation is really fast and not bloated with garbage software.

    Everything generally works, and the interface feels familiar.

    It is Ubuntu/Debian under the hood, so compatibility with most software is good. Bleeding edge drivers may run into issues, but most of them work with a little fiddling.

    It’s worth a try. If nothing else toss it on a USB drive and give it a test drive.



  • I’m also a developer. I had a some light automation set up, and one day decided to revert the whole thing.

    When I enter a room I flip the switch, and the lights come on. It’s so elegant and simple, no sensors or wifi required.

    I do have one automated light in my basement, but it is just a dumb motion sensor in my laundry room. that’s nice when my hands are full, otherwise I’m capable of toggling the lights.

    People do some cool stuff with automation, but for the most part these are solved problems. I don’t need to hit a movie button on my phone and have the room reconfigure itself. I do, however, need to get my steps in, so I’ll walk across a room.
